My VC's don't bleed, but I had to go back down a kernel release because in
.71 I would get all sorts of zombie processes, and the system load would
climb up to 25... it could be related to the fact that I had the kernel
compiled as SMP and only had 1 processor installed at the time, I think it
was running ok when I had a second processor in there. In any case there
were lots of sendmail and ps zombies building up as they were executed. I
usually run without SMP on my system.
